What has happened to New Mexico is sad. They used to have a good Senator in Pete Dominici and a good Governor in Susana Martinez. They have since replaced them with typical left wingers and then successfully gerrymandered out their only GOP member of the House. The powers that be seem to relish the thought of being the abortion capital of the Southwest.
I know Trump thought he had a shot at carrying New Mexico in 2024 and even held a rally there at the end of the campaign. I’m not sure if the GOP can ever regain a foothold in what has become a left wing wasteland.
I actually knew Pete Domenici personally; He was a friend of my father’s from even before he was the Chairman of Albuquerque City Commission. He even gave me a $5.00 High School Graduation gift. :-)
